How To Book

There are dozens of dates available, so you’ll want to play around until you find the lowest points rate possible.

At the lowest rate, Flying Blue charges 50,000 points for business class tickets, with taxes & fees of around $207 per person. But, it’s possible to book these flights for even fewer points as Chase UItimate Rewards is offering a 25% transfer bonus to Flying Blue (which ends on April 30, 2024).

That means you can book these same flights for just 40,000 points thanks to this transfer bonus — one of the lowest business class rates to Europe using points and miles.

If you don’t have Chase Ultimate Rewards points, you can also transfer your Amex points, Bilt Rewards points, Capital One miles, Citi ThankYou Points to Flying Blue at a 1:1 ratio.

Final Thoughts

Air France will often dump a bunch of business class award seats throughout the year. This time, there’s excellent availability to Paris at the end of 2024 and early 2025.

With this new Chase transfer bonus, you’ll definitely want to hop on this deal before the availability is gone!
